The Fools We Are As Men - Ryan Adams
--------------------------------------

(from side 4, GOLD limited edition)

tabbed by Björn Ericson (apan.ola@purpleturtle.com)

Well, I was browsing the OLGA, minding my own business, when I noticed,
to my great despair, that there was no Ryan directory to be found.
How can this be? I thought. Someone ought to be punished for this...
or something. Anyway...so...this is my first tab-posting on the
net...(TADA!)...sort of a groundbreaking event...

I obviously love this song (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered transcribing
it), and though I am sure that it's not 100% accurate, it's how I play it
and it sounds good to me.
